Spring?

Becca — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 01:32:31 +0000

I think it may be hiding under the snow. Best thing to do is to play outside anyway. Pina-coladas, outside games, and strawberry shortcakes might not have been enough to make it happen because beer igloos and snow angels still appeared.

Hello again.

It’s been awhile. I’m waiting out the winter and laying low. Mid-winter is not the most flattering time for me. Once there is even a tiny bit of spring, I will bounce back. Baking, friends, and being cozy with the family keeps me together till I can get outside and play.

Because we are thinking so much of our Grandmas lately, we thought we should send them a family portrait. Not everyone was excited about this idea. (Note Oliver’s angry eyes and Rowan’s frustration with him)

I have lots of help with laundry.

Experienced working with fondant for the first time. Fun, but there was LOTS of cracking. I think Geoff loved his Birthday camo-pants-cake anyway!

Strawberry filled Birthday cupcakes for Alisha… and mini strawberry filled feel-better cupcakes for Alisha’s daughter Aydia.

This weekend we had a visit from Jeanie Weenie and took a trip up to Ann Arbor. Orange juice drink from McDonalds, REI, $3 bottles of wine from Trader Joes, and cheap cute things from IKEA.

Love~ Becca

I made a hat!

Crocheted my first hat. It’s rather large, but it doesn’t squish my hair down… sweet.

Valentine Yums

Soooo… I am waiting till Valentines day to bake something. Maybe a mini rainbow cake? I would REALLY like to make strawberry matcha cupcakes, or plain matcha cupcakes, but that would mean ordering some matcha powder. Might as well, I’ve wanted some for so long. In the mean time here are some pretty inspirational yums.

*dorky baking giddiness*

Last Year

Becca — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 15:34:22 +0000

Last year around this time, Seth and I were exploring Perrysburg in the snow. I think we might need to do it again. Starting to feel like a shut-in. Maybe it will warm up in the 30s and being outside will be more fun. I am getting restless. We don’t know whats going to happen in the next few months. Seth’s almost done with his website and will be applying to things soon. We want to move, but we don’t know where or when it’s going to happen. I feel like I’m waiting. I can’t wait to move into a new apartment. I love ours, but it has never felt completely comfortable or inspiring. More like a box with a bad furniture layout. I will miss living above shops and right beside the river, but the actual inside I can be completely happy changing. I also need a job change. Don’t know what, but this routine and place that I am in is sucking my energy and waring on me emotionally. For now, I will play in the snow, and wait.

Spicy Chili

Seth made awesome chili yesterday. Super spicy and perfect for how freaking cold it is out. Beef, tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic, salsa, chipotle peppers, beer (1 and a 1/2 bottles), tomato paste = yum.

It’s supposed to warm up and get into the 30s later in the week! EXCITED! We will be able to take walks without completely freezing.
